At NEXT, a cloud-native company, our platform is the heartbeat of our operation. We are looking for a Platform Engineer who is passionate about building scalable, resilient, and developer-friendly infrastructure. You won't just be "managing servers"; you will be architecting the internal platform that enables our entire engineering organization to ship code faster and more reliably.
You will be a part of a small, ultra-talented, and supportive Platform Engineering team. This is a unique opportunity to learn from seasoned experts and contribute directly to high-impact projects from day one.
In this role, you will be a key driver of our infrastructure evolution. You will design and implement robust systems primarily using AWS, leveraging EKS to run and deploy our services, and treating 100% of our environment as code using Terraform. We are looking for someone who doesn't just follow industry trends but thinks "out of the box" to solve complex architectural challenges, ensuring our infrastructure serves as a seamless "product" for our internal developers.
As our team also acts as the centralized FinOps authority, your ability to understand the cost implications of architectural decisions is a significant plus, helping us maintain a high-performance yet cost-efficient cloud environment.
